This Week

April 24, 2014 / trappedintimedesigns / Leave a comment

I keep forgetting what day it is this week.

I also decided to reintroduce caffeine.

THAT’S the kind of week it’s been.

So far, I’ve:

Finished up an Alice order.

Made a new Dieselpunk military capelet.

Created a super ruffly red and white striped choker.

Made a beautiful silk brocade capelet.

And spent many, many hours putting together sketches, images, prices and a full proposal for a really cool job. (SPOILER: I didn’t get it–but I did give myself a ton of new ideas for future offerings and a potential photo shoot)

I feel like I should have more accomplished by today….maybe I need to give myself some slack?

Laissez les bons temps rouler!

It’s Mardi Gras day! And it’s raining and freezing cold out! And I’m under the weather!

All that adds up to me, a heating pad, a blanket, some coffee and photo editing/listing of newbies for the shop.

Just listed seven (SEVEN!!!) new capelets over in the etsy shop: https://www.etsy.com/shop/TrappedInTimeDesigns

Here’s to hoping it’s warmer in YOUR neck of the woods!

Bustlin’

February 17, 2014 / trappedintimedesigns / Leave a comment

New in the shop over the weekend:

The bustles are all being offered on a made-to-order basis, too.

I’m trying to beef up the shop in between orders. I have a whole stack of things that are ready to be sewn up, and I try to add to it every weekend, as well as subtract from it (ie: sew things up) every week. Problems only arise when I’ve fallen out of love with whatever idea I had had when I cut whatever-it-is out. Then….well, then it goes to the bottom of the stack.

Sneak Peek

January 28, 2014 / trappedintimedesigns / Leave a comment

I just realized that this is my 100th post here on the ol’ blog. Last week I got the “congratulations on your 1 year anniversary”, too. Which took my entirely by surprise. Granted, there were MONTHS (and months) of inactivity….but it feels like just a little while ago that I started this up.

I had intended a blog post reflecting on the year, blather blather blather, blah blah remembering, blah. But then, THEN–my friend Britt of Underexposed Photography (https://www.facebook.com/brittsmithphoto) just released the first sneak peek from last week’s Dieselpunk/Steampunk shoot–and I’m pretty much in love with it. My brain can’t really compute anything more than “PREEETTTTTYYYYYY!!” after seeing it, so big long rambling post about the past year has been sidetracked (you can send your thanks to Britt).

Behind the Scenes

The shoot went SO WELL! As usual, I can’t wait for the final images. I managed (with a LOT of reminding from helpful folks) to snap a few behind-the-scenes images throughout the day.

In make-up:

And on-site at the Airship Isabella studio–amazing space, and amazing group! I look forward to future collaborations with them. (you can check them out here: http://airshipisabella.com/)
